Yes. Purple Shield provides the filtering and monitoring layer KCSIE expects, with DNS-level enforcement, category-based blocks, custom blocklists, real-time reporting and full audit trails for safeguarding leads, governors and Ofsted inspectors. It is aligned with both KCSIE 2025 and the DfE filtering and monitoring standard.

Purple supports five of the six DfE digital and technology standards directly - Wireless Networks, Cyber Security, Filtering and Monitoring, Digital Leadership and Governance, and Network Switching - and works alongside your broadband provider for the sixth. The mapping in our compliance section shows how each standard aligns to a specific Purple capability.

Yes. Purple Shield provides the content filtering required under the Children's Internet Protection Act, with category-based blocks, custom blocklists, real-time reporting and audit trails that meet E-Rate compliance review requirements. It works across both school-managed and BYOD devices, and aligns with broader state-level safeguarding frameworks.

Purple's school WiFi platform is designed to comply with FERPA. Consent is captured at the point of WiFi sign-on, student records are isolated from marketing data, and full audit trails are available for federal or state review. Data residency options are available for districts with specific sovereignty requirements.

Yes. Purple's network policies detect and manage smartwatches, smartphones and unauthorized BYOD devices, with time-of-day enforcement that aligns with UK statutory guidance and US state-level legislation. It is a network-level companion to physical strategies like pouches and lockers - and far cheaper to roll out across a multi-site trust or district.

Purple gives trust and district IT directors a single console to manage every school. Set trust- or district-wide policies once, layer school-specific captive portal branding on top, and access analytics across every site or drilled down to one. The same platform serves UK Multi-Academy Trusts and US school districts - the operational model is identical, just under different governance.

No. Purple is a cloud overlay that layers on top of your existing infrastructure. Cisco, Aruba, Juniper Mist, Meraki and Ubiquiti are all supported. You modernize the captive portal, authentication, filtering and analytics experience without ripping out the network you have already paid for.

Yes. Purple is built to UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and FERPA. Consent is captured at the point of WiFi login, stored with a full audit trail, and respected across all subsequent communications and analytics.

Each BYOD device gets its own identity-led credential through iPSK or EAP-TLS, with per-device policies, bandwidth controls and time-of-day rules. School-owned devices, staff personal devices and student personal devices can all run on the same physical network while staying logically segmented from each other.

Yes. Purple scales from a single primary school to a 100-school trust or a multi-district consortium. The same cloud platform serves all of them - just with different policy hierarchies and analytics views layered on top.
